Flash is in the repos, but the suggestion to use flash aid may be the correct one for you. It is a firefox addon, and when you run it, it will purge all existing flash, and install the correct version.

Thank you, that worked.
What do you mean with "Flash being in the repos" also, how come Flash is such a pain to install?

The "repos" are the repositories. Repositories are the places that package managers (eg: synaptic, Ubuntu Software Center, apt-get) get the packages.

I wasn't quite thinking of ease when I first posted, but you could have opened up synaptic or the Software Center and installed 'flashplugin-nonfree' That's what was meant by it "Being in the repos"

Hope this helps you with future problems!

P.S. - I never knew about 'Flash-Aid', but that's awesome, and probably the easiest way for new users of Linux. But, it is still good to know how to do that type of stuff on your own. (You may run into the same problem with Java as well.)
